During the derby between Schalke and Dortmund, Aubameyang scored a goal for Dortmund. He celebrated the goal in style by wearing a mask. The mask celebration was an advertisement for Nike, despite the fact Dortmund is sponsored by Puma.

It is debatable if it was a faux pas or a marketing strategy from Aubameyang. According to a Kicker report, Sport director, Michael Zorc, confirmed that Aubameyang has been fined for his misconduct. Zorc said, ” he was not aware about the consequences of his actions.” He added that the situation was serious and it will not be tolerated by the club. It is reported by BILD that the fine is around €100,000.

There was another photo with the mask circulating in Social media again with Aubameyang, this time, the mask was worn by his brother. Dortmund quickly dispelled rumors that it was a new provocation from Aubameyang.

The Africa cup of nations will take place in Gabon soon. However, the tournament has been plauged with players opting out of the tournament. Prominent among the players for Cameroon is Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting. His announcement, came as a big shock to football crazy Cameroonian fans.

Choupo-Moting explained that he decided to stay out of the tournament, because of his commitment to Schalke. His club is hit with lots of injuries and there is no striker with his experience to take charge in his absence.

Also, his contract will soon expire and wants to find a common ground towards renewal.

He came to the conclusion not to play for Cameroon after the Christmas vacation. Although some people were angry and disappointed about his decision, he re-iterated that he has not officially retired from playing for Cameroon.
